Homelessness is a critical issue that requires everyone's attention. Hundreds of thousands of
homeless people live on the streets as their shelter. Historically, homelessness has always been a
problem in society. Homeless people were known as "the wondering poor", "sturdy beggars", and as
"vagrants," but it was not until the late 18th century that homelessness because noticeable to society.

However, one definition worth stating comes to mind. "Homelessness is a condition of detachment
from society characterized by the absence or attenuation of the affiliate bonds that link settled
person to a network of interconnected social structures". The condition of detachment can be
explained as an insecure attachment experience in which a person will develop a working model for
constructing a negative world of himself and the world around him or her. The other important word
worth defining is the establishing of social bonds which can be explained in terms of one's social
networks. (McCarthy, Hagan, & Martin, 2002)
Two other perspectives can also help us underline the issue of homelessness. On the one part you

BRAND BUILDING BLOCKS
Building Strong Brands: Why Is It Hard?
It is not easy to build brands in today 's environment. The brand builder who attempts to develop a
strong brand is like a golfer playing on a course with heavy roughs, deep sand traps, sharp doglegs,
and vast water barriers. It is difficult to score well in such conditions. Substantial pressures and
barriers, both internal and external, can inhibit the brand builder. To be able to develop effective
brand strategies, it is useful to understand these pressures and barriers

2. Proliferation Of Competitors
New, vigorous competitors come from a variety of sources. A host of food categories have watched
Weight Watchers and Healthy Choice enter their markets through brand extension strategies. In the
snack category, Frito–Lay has seen regional brands expand and Budweiser 's Eagle brand break out
of its niche to become a major competitor. New product forms that provide real alternatives for the
customer have encroached the soft drink market, bottled water, carbonated water, fruit–based drinks,
and "new age" drinks, among others.
Additional competitors not only contribute to price pressure and brand complexity, but also make it
much harder to gain and hold a position. They leave fewer holes in the market to exploit and fewer
implementation vehicles to own. Each brand tends to be positioned more narrowly, the target
markets become smaller, and the non–target market becomes larger. Efforts to market to a broad
segment thus become more difficult in the face of the complex 'brandscape' Further, some new or
desperate competitors may be motivated to take risks or attempt unusual approaches. The result can
be destabilization of the competitive dynamics. There is also an enhanced motivation to copy
anything that is successful, in part because the risks of

16. General Electric Decline
General Electric's stock prices had been on a long decline for several years, which began around the
9/11 terrorist attack. General Electric has been called a financial company by several investors and
businesses, and the financial segment of their company is what actually caused a decline in General
Electric's stock prices. Several bad events and disasters have been occurring since the 9/11 terrorist
bombing and life has only gotten worse for the world. Bad events and disasters had hurt General
Electric immensely, as General Electric's financial segment, or GE Capital, was heavily reliant on

Immelt is trying to hire new young employees that know about technology and can easily learn how
to use newer technology. General Electric is still working out issues with GE Capital and Immelt is
continuing to remove problem segments from GE Capital. Immelt has declared that ideally only $10
billion of GE's revenue should come from its financial departments, and that most of the revenue
will come from General Electric's other important departments, such as GE Aviation, GE Oil & Gas,
and GE Power. One of the largest initiatives that General Electric is currently taking is what they
call "Industrial Internet." The "Industrial Internet" is a term that General Electric uses to "[refer] to
the integration of complex physical machinery with networked sensors and software." Basically, the
"Industrial Internet" is using electrical sensors and software from the internet and adapting it to
machines, an example of a product, made by another company, that would have used the term
"Industrial Internet" is the "google smartcar." An important issue within General Electric is that
upper level employees are making millions of dollars, while workers don't receive so much. In 2014,
Jeffrey Immelt pocketed about $48.9 million and increased his salary by 8.2% to $3.8 million. So,
one of the main issues in General Electric would be the corruption that occurs in the higher level
executive jobs. However, the corruption in the executive level jobs does not affect how well the
stocks do for General Electric, and it should not influence anyone's decision to buy General

I will focus this assignment on high demand foods like fruit and vegetable, dairy produce and meat.
Fruits, vegetables and grains According to the studies conducted by a certified nutrition specialist
Virginia Worthington (2001) an increased amount of several nutrients is present in organic crops
compared with their conventional equivalents. These included: * 27% more vitamin C * 21.1%
more iron * 29.3% more magnesium * 13.6% more phosphorus * 15.1% less nitrates than their
conventional counterparts.

The chart above illustrates the percentage of additional mineral content in organic compare to
conventional crops. However, when the research was carried out the following factors (which are

soil and fertility usage * Storage methods * Forms of food consumption e.g. fresh, steamed, pureed,

per day) * The method and timing of harvest
To get a real picture of a difference in a nutritional value of organic via conventional foods, a large

23. Crime Scene Investigations: Jeffery R. Macdonald Twin...
Crime Scene Investigations involve the identification of unknown suspects, witnesses and victims.
They respond to crime scenes to detect, preserve, document, impound and collect physical evidence.
1 This report will give details about the Jeffery R. MacDonald triple murder case, which took place
in officer's quarters at U.S. Army base Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on Tuesday February 17, 1970. I
will explain what happened, how it happened and what investigators found. If I were investigating
the case, my experience would lead me to follow the guidelines of a criminal investigator.
The story begins with Jeffery MacDonald, born October 12, 1943 in Jamaica, New York.
MacDonald attended Princeton University, Northwestern University (graduated with a Doctor of
Medicine,) and completed his medical residency at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Jeffery
MacDonald and his wife Colette had two daughters, five year old Kimberly, and two year old
Kristen. The MacDonald's were expecting their first son. Jeffery entered the U.S. Army as a Captain
in the Medical Corps on July 1, 1970. In September he volunteered for Special Forces duty and was
assigned as a group surgeon at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
On the morning of February, 17 1970, at 3:42am, dispatch at Fort Bragg received acall from 544

Organizational Behavior: A look at General Electric
In the history of corporations few companies have demonstrated the staying power and tenacity as
General Electric (GE.). Of the companies that originally appeared when the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was rolled out in 1896 only GE is still doing business today. (General Electric, 2007) GE's
125 year run has not been spotless. GE, like any long lasting organization, has had many ups and
downs. GE's past has at times been glorious and at other times has been dark and manipulative. "GE
traces its beginnings to Thomas A. Edison, who established Edison Electric Light Company in 1878.
In 1892, a merger of Edison General Electric Company and Thomson–Huston Electric Company

The fundamental problem could have been summed up by the idea of trying to squeeze orange juice
from the rind. Individual employees and managers could not keep up and the company was quickly
digging a deeper hole.
By 1988 the problem could no longer be ignored. Jim Baughman, the head of GE's management
development center was charged with the task of correcting the problem. "In a memorable
conversation, Welch and Baughman said to each other, 'Let's find a way to get work out of the
system.'" (Ashkenas, 2002) The innovative system seemed clear: Teams. Teams would help to
reduce the individual work load and get work through the system. The new team approach was aptly
named, "Work–Out."
The "Work–Out" team approach created by Welch and Baughman utilizes small cross–functional
teams that investigate problems. The teams generate ideas and solutions that are presented to the
decision makers in an informal "town meeting" The informal nature of Welch and Baughman's team
approach was created with the clever notion that GE should be run not like a huge conglomerate, but
rather like a small company. The vision (which is still being pursued by GE today) was to create a
team environment that was not restricted by departments, business units or company leadership.
By the mid–1990s it was clear that the "Work–Out" system was having a profound positive impact
on GE. Teams, innovating and working without traditional limitations was saving the company.

Welch, his predecessor who had been the CEO for 20 years and built GE into a "highly disciplined,
extremely efficient machine that delivered consistent growth in sales and earnings–not only through
effective operations management that resulted in organic growth (much of it productivity–driven) of
5% annually, but also through a continuous stream of timely acquisitions and clever deal making".

Although Welch's strategy was successful during his time as CEO, Immelt became conscious of how
impossible it would be to continue to provide that level of performance by merely continuing upon
the same strategy. Therefore Immelt decided that a change to the firm's strategy would be necessary
for the continual growth of GE.
b. Immelt disagreed with applying the term conglomerate as he preferred to view it as a "well
integrated, diversified company" that had outstanding financial disciplines, practiced sharing top
talent, and possessed unyielding integrity. Having committed to the assets, resources and capabilities
currently at his disposal, he shared his vision of moving into the market of "big, fundamental high–
technology infrastructure industries" where he believed GE would have a competitive advantage due
to its size, and the fact that it could dominate that market because of the high barriers to entry that
would be involved.
c. Immelt believed that despite the need for a shift in strategy, he would build upon the firm's core
elements that have resulted in such a strong success such as the "portfolio of strong businesses,
bound through a set of companywide strategic initiatives and managed by great people in a culture
that was performance driven and adaptive." Immelt understood the importance of this key

wide councils such as services. This is believed to benefit the company overall because everyone
will be allowed to contribute to all segments of the company and not just their individual jobs. This
produces connectivity between everyone's daily needs. In order to keep up with today's growth in

The difference in the division are the categories in which they are divided into. GE is divided into
six specific categories: Energy, Capital, Home & Business Solutions, Healthcare, Aviation and
Transportation. GE has also devoted a lot of their focus into Global Growth and Operations. This
division is mainly responsible for international sales and services out the U.S. In order to support all
of its units, GE has included some centralized services in areas such as legal, commercial and public
relations, business development, human resources, finance and global research. In charge of
executing all these strategies and implementing appropriate organizational control processes is CEO
Jeffrey R. Immelt. P&G performs and is divided into four industry based sectors: global beauty,
global baby. Feminine and family care, global fabric and homecare, and global health and grooming.
The company prides themselves over their "unique organizational structure" which offers equal
benefits at a global scale in which are relevant for consumers where their brand is sold. The current
CEO of P&G, Davis Taylor, is a strong believer that the correspondence between the strategy and
the structure of the company is essential. Procter and Gamble constant involvement worldwide has
to deal with globalization of its business therefore having to remain competitive internationally. The

33. The Struggle of Life and War in Ernest Hemingway’s Writing
Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century. His simple style, lucid
depictions, and relatable narratives propelled him into a world of literary fame. These unique
attributes are inimitable; Hemingway relates to the reader on a deeper level that even the best
imitators cannot achieve. For this and many other reasons, critics praise Hemingway for the
indefinable work of an exceptional writer. One of his most well–known novels, A Farewell to Arms,
is notorious for its depth into the reality and adversity of war. Hemingway's personal experiences
during World War I are evident in this renowned novel. He uses these tragic familiarities to penetrate
the reader's mind with the grievous effects of war and loss. ... Show more content on

Another great manifestation of this unique writing style is Hemingway's last novel, The Old Man
and the Sea, published in 1952. In this story, Hemingway uses his declarative style to portray deeper
meaning through the characters and their actions. The use of plain words, simple sentences, and
frequent repetition is a style that makes Hemingway such an accomplished writer (Markley 171). "
[Hemingway's] powers of description are not diminished by his taking care to choose such simple
language" (Markley 171). Although many commend Hemingway for his last novel, some critics see
this work as less than great; "The thing that chiefly keeps The Old Man and the Sea from greatness
is the sense one has that the author was imitating instead of creating the style that made him
famous" (Stallman 272). However, Malcolm Cowley describes Hemingway's prose "at its best gives
a sense of depth and of moving forward on different levels that is lacking in even the best of his
imitators" (271). Ultimately, Hemingway's distinctive and original style fashions clear and
meticulous novels.
Later in life, after beginning his writing career, Hemingway's interest in military activities and the
influence of his veteran grandfathers led him to enlist for duty as an ambulance driver for the Italian

Now, GE has continued on and owns over 67,000 patents.
The company has blasted off from the beginning, and that can only happen with a strong staff to
support the company from the inside out. Currently, GE has it's headquarters in Fairfield,
Connecticut. Jeff Immelt is the current CEO, and has held that position since 2001. Immelt has been
involved in the company much longer than that, though. He's held positions in GE's Plastics,
Appliances,and Healthcare divisions since 1982. However, his power has a negative side to go along
with the positive. GE's stock has gone down nearly 60% since 2001, when Immelt become the CEO.
This dramatic change can be blamed on fluctuations in the economy, but that's not where it stops.
General Electric has lost 19,000 employees, and also closed 31 plants in America. Immelt has been
criticized for all of this, and even especially so because he was the chairman on President Obama's
Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. The company has 18 other corporate executives, to head

company faced difficulties which caused the investors to lose confidence in the financial health of

annual profit growth within a given margin. This incident caused him to make changes by unifying
the GE brand around a stronger focus on innovation. Under his control, GE was restructured around

43. Analysis on the Shift of Business Strategy for Ge Into the...
Question 1: In what ways has Jeff Immelt redirected the strategy of GE?
In 2001, shortly after Jeff Immelt became the CEO of GE, a series of events changed and impacted
the corporate landscape. The immediate challenges that he faced included 9/11, and a subsequent
series of high profile corporate scandals (Enron, WorldCom). In 2008, the financial crisis hit and
had a severe impact on GE's primary growth source, GE Capital causing it to accumulate bad debts
and asset write–downs. These events caused slow domestic economic growth, crisis of confidence
among investors and more global competitors.
Due to the change in environment and the need to adapt Immelt shifted the focus of GE from cost
cutting and deal making to new products, services ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
At the heart of Immelt's growth strategy for General Electric's was the development of new Growth
Platforms, which could be either extensions of the existing businesses or entire new commercial
areas. Even though Immelts core focus was on organic growth, repositioning to take advantage of
the emerging market trends and opportunities would require acquisition. Then once a new Growth
Platform was identified, GE would build a leading position in those sectors through small strategic
acquisitions and the deployment of its financial, technical and managerial resources.
GE was entering a new generational era, one where technology is at the forefront of growth and
adaptation. Immelt identified Technology as one of GE's major drivers for future growth which was
signaled by his expansion of GE's R&D budgets. He shifted the importance of Technology within
GE by focusing on the R&D projects that offered large scale market potential, reffered to as
"Imagination breakthroughs".
Within this new business environment that GE was facing, customers needs, wants and expectations
of what products can offer them is forever changing. Immelt saw and understood this from the

Harvard Case Review and Analysis
1. Jeff Immelt's strategies for GE were solid in a theoretical sense. The company should have been
delivering above–average returns and seen all the positives that he preached about it. The reason this
did not happen and they faced some humiliation in 2008 until 2010 were due to GE Capital. Immelt
thought that they were diversified enough to survive the economic downturn. However this proved
to be wrong. In an interview for BusinessWeek magazine David Magee, author of Jeff Immelt and
the New GE Way, spoke on what was going wrong for GE. He believes that Immelt and GE did not
correctly predict how bad the financial downturn was going to be. By missing that their beliefs that
they were diversified ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I agree with what the analysts have said and that the most important thing for GE is to get their stock
prices back up. Immelt is trying to do so without selling GE Capital. I believe that in order to get
their prices back up they need to downsize GE Capital and have less money tied up in assets that are
in this very volatile market, especially real estate. This will help build confidence in investors that
they will not see huge losses if the economy takes another turn for the worst. Until that happens I do
not see GE getting back on track with Immelt's plans of growth and profit. 2. GE's corporate strategy
is one of moderate to high level of diversification. More specifically one that is related linked. Most
people call them a conglomerate or a company made up of very different companies all operating in
different industries. However GE's CEO Jeff Immelt sees it differently. He doesn't see a
conglomerate he sees a company that is diversified over many industries, but one that works
together towards a common goal. You can see that in the way that research and development in one
of their industries is used to improve their product or service in a different part of the company. By
having all of these differentiated industries working together under the name of GE they have been

General Electric has the bullet points from above on every business divisions website and the Code
of Conduct for GE in consistent for all their employees. In other words, no adjusted codes based on
various countries throughout the world. This also brings one to believe that employees will sign the
agreement and be held accountable at all levels of the organization as well. It would seem that it
does not allow special privilege as an option to opt out of participating and adhering to their code of
conduct. Supposing one would want to opt out, it would be making a statement that they do not

Forensic Felines: How Our Cat Companions Can Crack Cases
For centuries, forensic science has relied on one thing: evidence. That evidence has come in many
different forms over the years; it can be derived from eyewitness testimony, ballistics, fingerprints,
and even DNA. Investigators painstakingly search crime scenes for clues to solve cases, making
sure to check every possible location for a key bit of trace evidence. It is therefore ironic that with
such emphasis on painstakingly capturing every detail of a crime scene, crime scene investigators
too often neglect that which is right in front of them. What could possibly be a part of so many
households turned murder scenes? How could something be so common, yet so neglected by those
in search of evidence? The answer to this question can be found on a sofa, table, or countertop,
staring investigators––sometimes literally––in the face. Yes, this source of evidence is a beloved
companion of families and crazed widows alike: the cat.
Cats, like other pets, are often neglected at crime scenes in order to focus on the more pertinent
details of the case. They are sent away to shelters or family members without a second thought; if
left at the scene, they are perceived as a nuisance and potential hazard to evidence fidelity. Mr.

G lobal health is an extremely complex "... area of study, research and practice that places a priority
on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. Global health
emphasizes transnational health issues, determinants and solutions; involves many disciplines within
and beyond the health sciences and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration; and is a synthesis of

During an intercultural teaching experience in Japan in 2004 to 2005, the author had previous
experience in developing and teaching an international nursing course. These experiences provided
insight into the complexity of global health and the need to bring disparate but related concepts into
a meaningful whole. Redwood–Campbell et al. (2011) described an organizing framework for global
health curricula in family medicine. The aim was to identify and incorporate key educational
elements to achieve desired global health education outcomes. Although the framework guides the
curriculum for family medicine, an expanded framework is needed with an interprofessional focus.
The purpose of this paper is to (a) present an organizing framework for interprofessional global
health courses/curricula, (b) describe the primary and secondary characteristics that are distinct to
global health , and (c) discuss how the primary and secondary characteristics are reflected in the
organizing framework.

Recently, there have been recommendations for the incorporation of systems thinking into global
health. Russell et al. (2014) contended that systems thinking offers the principles and methods

Integrated marketing communication (IMC) is defined as "a cross–functional process for creating
and nourishing profitable relationships with customers and other stakeholders by strategically
controlling or influencing all messages sent to these groups and encouraging data–driven,
purposeful dialogue with them" (Duncan 2002, p. 8). To better understand the real–world
application of IMC, a call has been made for case histories that focus on IMC best practices (see
Duncan and Mulhern 2004, p. 19). In this paper, we provide a case study that demonstrates how one
company––Imperial Tobacco Limited (ITL), which is Canada 's largest tobacco ... Show more
content on Helpwriting.net ...
Other authors have related IMC to the decline in perceived effectiveness of television advertising,
which encouraged organizations to divert resources toward a variety of other media (e.g., Duncan
and Everett 1993; Kitchen and Schultz 1999; Rust and Oliver 1994). For the tobacco industry and
companies such as ITL, regulated restrictions on access to different media further compelled them to
seek a variety of nontraditional media. The case study of ITL and the Player 's trademark is
particularly interesting because the legal and political environment facing the firm has seemingly
accelerated its move toward an IMC mind–set and structure.
Conceptually, IMC provides a useful theoretical context for illustrating the image development of
particular cigarette brands, particularly in the context of understanding how tobacco companies
attempt to use recurrent themes and strategies when making the transition from one mode of
promotion to another. We acknowledge that IMC is not simply a multimedia coordinated campaign,
and Duncan and Mulhern (2004) have noted that IMC is more than just tactical consistency, usually
referred to as "one voice, one look." Organizations can achieve an execution that is consistent and
appears to have integrated marketing communications, but the essence of the IMC movement is a
call to make marketing communication more effective through greater tactical coordination anda

There was suppressed evidence in the case that showed that Dr. MacDonald did not murder his
family. The prosecutor Brian Murtagh told jurors that nothing at the crime scene supported
MacDonald's story of the four trespassers. When the defense asked to see the lab results, the
prosecutor laid saying the documents had nothing to support MacDonald's claims. There was
evidence on the body of Colette MacDonald. She was holding a brown hair in her hand, and it
wasn't Dr. MacDonald's or of their two little girls. It was reported that it was too small to be given to
the government. She also had skin under her fingernails, which was lost and not reported. Colette
also had some black wool in her mouth and on her shoulder. These fibers were misrepresented in
court. It was told to the jury as blue fibers from his pajamas, later used to convict him. This piece of
fiber was relevant because Helena Stoeckly, at the time, had a closet full of black clothes. There was
a blue fiber found in her left hand, and it could not be traced to any thing in the house. The same

Authors and their Affiliations: Jessica A. Jones, Kelvin O. Lim, Jeffrey R. Wozniak, Sheila Specker,
and Angus W. MacDonald, III. University of Minnesota.
Publication Information: Psychology of Addictive Behaviors. April 15, 2013.
Explanation of Major Hypothesis:
The researchers were hoping to prove through their experiment that context–processing abilities are
severely hampered by cocaine use and abuse. Scientists have shown the negative effects of drug use
on mental processes and these researchers wanted to more closely examine what is considered
higher–order thinking. Context processing refers to the mental process which allows an individual to
act and understand their environment and to understand their place within that environment, i.e.
their specific context within a location, as well as how they can function within this location.
Research Methods:
Two studies were conducted to determine the cognitive abilities of cocaine abusers. Two groups, one
of cocaine users and one which did not use drugs were both tested and their results directly
compared to find out what link if any there was between context processing and cocaine use. The
first study used an expectancy variable measuring the AX task. These tests were designed
specifically to test the impairment to mental processes which require "bottom–up perceptual and

With the assistance and guidance of savvy leaders, who recognized his ability to lead and influence
others, Welch progressed to the position of CEO, where he served from 1981 to 2001. Through this
process, Welch elevated himself to one of the most influential business leaders in the world
(Wikipedia, 2004). General Electric is a large company involved in a variety of products and
services. One of their most memorable slogans is "Imagination at Work" (Van Camp, 2004). With
the myriad of products and services that General Electric provides, this slogan gives you a peek into
the GE culture. With such a creative machination, GE has continued to regenerate new ideas from its
products and services strategy. In order to help leaders embrace this philosophy, all GE managers
spend time at a place called the Croton–on–Hudson campus, or, Crotonville, for short. At
Crotonville, the extensive training program is infused with informality, a key element put in place
by Welch, that sets the pace for instilling the culture (Byrne, 1998). Each member of the

don't have efficient system to utilize all the resources and efficient solution for dynamic traffic and
network conditions. So in this article we introduce a efficient traffic engineering and managing
mechanism called AMPLE. This system mainly consists of two components: Link Weight
Optimization (OLWO) and Adaptive Traffic Control (ATC). Link Weight Optimization (OLWO)
component generates maximum IGP path diversity using physical network topology as a input.
OLWO setting of link weights are optimized for maximum path diversity. The next component ATC
comes into the picture based on these diverse paths. ATC can efficiently manage the splitting ratios
across individual routing topologies. ATC does this by monitoring the network dynamics in a short

INTRODUCTION Jeff Immelt 's administration style is strongly not quite the same as that of his
ancestor. His quality is in rousing others by empowering them and relating with them at their level,
in contrast to the intimidating way of work followed by Jack Welch. Notwithstanding both men
being similarly powerful, Immelt 's kin well–disposed general fellow initiative style has made an
altogether different environment at GE and drew acclaim from the positions of his subordinates. In
2001, soon after Immelt took up his new challenge as the CEO of one of the most successful
companies of the 20th century, an arrangement of occasions in a broader sense changed the
corporate scene. Immelt 's prompt test was to deal with the effect of the aftermath of the September
11 assaults and a consequent arrangement of prominent corporate outrages like those of Worldcom,
Enron and some others to name a few. These occasions made critical instability and prompted an
emergency of certainty among financial specialists and fuelled disdain in the group on the loose.
Notwithstanding a sliding offer value, Immelt perceived that dealing with GE 's presentation to the
business cycle would be basic to the association 's long haul soundness (Grant 2008, pp. 317–318).
He tried to console GE shareholders that the occupation of the CEO was not to deal with the offer
